BREEDING PHILOSOPHY

At Lockhard, we take care to breed properly in order to keep our dogs and pups in top health. Lockhard dogs have certified hips and all vaccinations. These same requirements apply to dogs that breed with ours. Please see our requirements list.

Our Breeding Plan

We seem to have found the right combination of breeding for our Lockhard German Shorthaired Pointers. Lockhard's Miss Millie and Ivory's Big Oaks Sam (Tommy, Jr.) have produced some fabulous pups. We have only had positive feedback from puppy owners. Many of these dogs hunt at the same club as I, and recognizing them in the field gives me great satisfaction. I am pleased to hunt behind them or follow and watch them hunt in the field. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing them mature into great hunting dogs.

The owner of Tommy, Jr., has indicated that he may not be available for stud after this year (2007). We anticipate a last mating with Millie and Tommy, Jr. this year. The stud for her next breeding has already been chosen. In looking at the lines, I am positive this new mating will produce the even-tempered, intense hunting dog to continue the line that Lockhard takes pride in producing.

Don’t think for a minute that the Ivory's Big Oaks Sam lines are gone. Let’s talk about Lockhard’s Maude. Ivory's Big Oaks Sam is her daddy. Maudie has the style and mannerisms that we're looking for! Seeing the proven litter that Gus has produced, Lockhard's Gustav will be introduced as Maude's stud. Gus has matured into a fine bird dog, and you should hear his owners talk about his presence around the house. To boot, he is the best looking Shorthair in the country. I can’t believe I sold that dog! Maude's first breeding will be shortly after her second birthday, after we confirm that her hips are lined up just right!

Lockhard's Miss Maude

Lockhard's Miss Maude, with bloodlines from Ivory's Big Oaks Sam (Tommy, Jr.), Big Oaks Snap-E-Tom and Tonelli's Rising Sun joined our family of Lockhard dogs at the beginning of July 2007. In a short while, she is proving to have a great future as a bird and family dog. Her pedigree will be a great addition to our breeding plan.

Lockhard's Gustav

Lockhard's Gustav is Buster Lockhard's son. He has a beautiful physique and markings, great carriage and style, and a well-mannered disposition. He has matured into a great field dog and is a loving, obedient family dog. Please contact us if you are interested in Gus as a stud.

Lockhard's Rosco

Rosco is now in his third duck season and has made Lance a very happy man. It is hard trying to maintain a high energy dog, but Lance is doing a great job with Rosco. I hear if you shoot a double, it only takes one retrieve, and Rosco is back looking for the next go around (2 photos).

Black labrador retriever, Lockhard's Rosco, will be available for stud after being OFA-rated. Preliminary x-rays were taken in January 2006 showing hips and elbows in great shape.

Rosco is a natural athlete with lots of energy and desire. He has a beautiful physique, great poise and carriage, and a gentle, loving disposition. Now in his third duck season, Rosco is proving to be an awesome duck and pheasant dog.
